One month of building on EmpoorioChain's public testnet — a two-validator Substrate chain with 140 pallets.
This hackathon is designed to help you learn, build, and ship real projects on Empoorio. Whether you're new to blockchain or an experienced developer, join us for this exciting journey.

Install the EmpoorioChain node, connect to the testnet and submit your first extrinsic
Follow the Learning Path: getting started, your first extrinsic, the pallet reference
Create an open-source project on Empoorio that reimagines how people interact, transact, or collaborate in the digital world. Build something innovative in payments, DeFi, games, mobile apps, or explore entirely new ideas. This is your chance to get creative and push the boundaries of what's possible on blockchain.

Everything you need to build on EmpoorioChain — real documents, each dated with its last verification against a running node.
The 140 native pallets in the live runtime, organised by suite — DeFi, NFT, AI, commerce, compliance, IoT — with mocks and tests to learn from.
Connect to the public testnet from a browser, read any storage item and submit any extrinsic. The lowest-level surface, and it works today.
empoorio-sdk with typed clients and emp-cli with 107 commands. Built from source; nothing on crates.io by explicit rule.
RED.json → first transfer → the extrinsic envelope → EVM or native → run a node → write a pallet. Six steps, each a real document.
From a fresh Polkadot.js connection to a finalized transfer on the public testnet in ten steps, including the two things that stop most first attempts.
Deep dive into pallet-emp-assets account management and time-locked distributions. Perfect for understanding native asset pallets and building financial applications on EmpoorioChain.
On-chain randomness for fair drops and lotteries; pair it with pallet-gaming and dynamic NFTs.
Create a native stable asset in pallet-emp-assets with compliance hooks, following how DUSD is implemented in pallet-stablecoins. Test collateral only.
